We know Einstein had little or nothing to say about bees, but Karl Marx did:

> A spider conducts operations that resemble those of a weaver, and a bee puts to shame many an architect in the construction of her cells. But what distinguishes the worst architect from the best of bees is this, that the architect raises his structure in imagination before he erects it in reality. KARL MARX

On this, he was in agreement with two other great philosopher scientists:

> Imagination is more important than knowledge. ALBERT EINSTEIN

> The imagination, give it the least license, dives deeper and soars higher than Nature goes. HENRY DAVID THOREAU
